No, that's just stupid.  Peppering simple accesses to properties
with these wrappers is just going to make the code uglier for
no tangible gain whatsoever.

There is no reason to make a mountain out of a mole hill wrt. this
stuff.

And besides what Stephen is doing is just extending existing
practice, he isn't changing how any of this stuff is already
used.  So this discussion should not get in the way of his
patches getting installed.

/me very much agrees.
